I really wanted to love this game but both the Alien and Predator franchises have never been the same since their movies had sequels. Now I know, they’ve tried. I appreciate that but, have we had a smash movie/game/comic/book/graphic novel/anything? Last time I remember there being a hit was the original AvP and I’m not even sure if that was. I just remember the game matches being a lot more steady and way more people having fun. This tried to be realistic and stopped somewhere around the practically comical mortal kombat style finishers. The models look good, there looks like there was an attempt at lore and a story that’s completely ignored. But this game seem to have gotten half way through the original Predator movie and realize that the only reason that movie exists is that the Predator got bored and wanted to fist fist Arnold.
Maybe could have gone an interesting route with some sort of honor system for the Predators. Killing players with more predator kills and AI kills being more worth their time as trophies. Instead we have predator who rush in, spam fire casters, gut and leave, there’s no fight, no epic show down, just chop chop trophy done.
We wanted Predator, we got Dead By Daylight plus guns.
